By: Sherdog.com StaffJan 28, 2013

TJ De Santis and Jeff Sherwood returned to The Sherdog Radio
Network Monday for another edition of “Beatdown.” Joining them were
mixed martial artists and former champions, Anthony Pettis and
Muhammed
Lawal.

Fresh off his “Knockout of the Night” winning performance at the
UFC on Fox 6, Pettis joined TJ and Jeff to talk about his stoppage
of Donald
Cerrone. Pettis breaks down the kick that stopped the Greg
Jackson product, his unorthodox style of striking and how he has
changed mentally since his loss to Clay Guida.
“Showtime” also chats about who he feels will win between champion
Benson
Henderson and Gilbert
Melendez, and if he truly believes he is going to fight the
winner of that bout next.

It’s been a long road back to active competition for Lawal. “King
Mo” joined “Beatdown” to discuss his successful Bellator MMA debut.
The former Strikeforce light heavyweight champion recounts his
battle with staph infection, how it returned to his knee in October
and how it felt to return to the cage after a year away. Lawal also
shares his thoughts on if the Bellator tournament is honestly the
“toughest tournament” in sports.

TJ and Jeff also share their thoughts on the UFC on Fox card, take
listener calls and emails, and discuss the latest happenings in the
world of mixed martial arts. Listen to “Beatdown” here.
